    Call it what U want... I'm just happy this sxsblog vid didn't end in destruction or crashes or roll-overs or blown engines. All jokes aside, love the content, keep up the good work. Get those barrels 6-8" lower and it should lift the wheels/car high enough in the water to actually propel it and not slow it down. And try driving it backwards, you might actually have some steering.

    THIS WAS SO FUN!!! I was certain it would be very buoyant. As a kid I had a Yamaha Yfm 100 Champ. It was a ATV, shaft driven, hard tail and maybe 2” of front travel. I jumped off to chase a catfish one evening. When my 100 lbs got off the machine, the tires themselves was enough to have it start gently floating with the current in the light flowing Gila River My opinion, (what I’d like to see) if you could lower the pontoons/bareltz and or get shorter paddle(boat) tires and maybe not have but 2” to 4” of rubber submerged, no rim... I think your propulsion would be quite sufficient. Youz guyz probably already realized this but, the load barring on the suspension is probably almost nonexistent after the barrel to take the load. So, it’s basically at full drupe while floating. Actually the exhaust, because the treads were so submerged, may have been your only actual propulsion. Again, SO FUN.
